In their search for a defensive midfielder, Liverpool thought they'd found the rare gem in Caicedo, but the Colombian opted to join Chelsea instead. With less than two weeks to go before the end of the summer mercato, the Reds are looking for a Plan B.
Their choice is Sofian Amrabat. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool have enquired about the terms of a contract with the Moroccan international's entourage. While Manchester United appear to be ahead of the game, the Reds intend to close the deal in the next few days. According to the local press, Sofyan Amrabat is even close to Liverpool.
Liverpool are now informed on Sofyan Amrabat, as AD reported. No formal bid made yet — just contact to be informed on conditions of the deal 🔴🇲🇦 #LFC
